EVAN (spoken)This glove's really cool, wow.​

LARRY (spoken)Oh, why don't you take it?

EVAN (spoken)Oh. No, no, I couldn't.​

LARRY (spoken)Why not?

EVAN (spoken)Are you sure?

LARRYI bought this glove a thousand years agoFor some birthday or some Christmas that has come and goneI thought we might play catch or... I don't knowBut he left it in the bag, with the tag still on

(spoken)You'll have to break it in though, first. You can't catch anything with it that stiff.​

EVAN (spoken)How do you break it in?

LARRYWell, it's all a process that is really quite preciseA sort of secret method known to very fewSo, if you're in the market for professional adviceWell today could be a lucky day for you

(spoken)Shaving cream.​

EVAN (spoken)Shaving cream?

LARRY (spoken)Oh yeah. You rub that in for about five minutes, tie it all up with rubber bands, put it under your mattress, and sleep on it. And you do that for at least a week, every day, consistent.​

(sung)And though this method isn't easyEvery second that you spend is gonna pay offIt'll pay off in the end

It just takes a little patienceIt takes a little timeA little perseveranceAnd a little uphill climb

You might not think it's worth itYou might begin to doubtBut you can't take any shortcutsYou gotta stick it out

And it's the hard wayBut it's the right wayThe right way... to break in a glove

(spoken)With something like this, you gotta be ready to put in the work, make the commitment. So what do you think?

EVAN (spoken)I mean, definitely.​

LARRYSome people say just use a microwaveOr try that "run it through hot water" techniqueWell, they can gloat about the time they saved'Til they gotta buy another glove next week

LARRYIt just takes a little patience

EVANIt takes a little patience

BOTHTakes a little ​time

LARRYA little perseverance

BOTHAnd a little uphill climb

LARRYAnd it's the hard wayBut it's the right wayThe right way...

'Cause there's a right way in everything you do

BOTHKeep that ​gritFollow through

LARRYEven when everyone around you thinks you're crazyEven when everyone around you lets things goAnd whether you're prepping for some testOr you're miles from some goalOr you're just trying to do what's bestFor a kid who's lost control

You do the hard thing'Cause that's the right thingYeah, that's the right thing

EVAN (spoken)Connor was really lucky to have a dad that... uh, a dad who cared so much about... taking care of stuff.​
